Re: Not clear that math has absolutes.
I haven't had a situation in my short engineering career or at any time in my life for that matter where I had 2 of something and 2 more of that same something and ended with 1 of it.

2 cups of water, and 2 cups of instant pancake mix, gives you one bowl of ready to cook pancakes.

Is the truth of everything relative?
​
No. It's only our view of that truth that is relative, and subjective.
​
The triangle is not "green". In certain light it will reflect a wavelength that can be classified when viewed through a spectrometer, to be green.
​
It's all about the light in which we view things. I was just pondering this the other day.
